What to Expect
Yes, we often joke that Pilates equipment looks like a Medieval torture chamber, BUT do not be intimidated. Those springs and bars are there to help you and to aid in providing the long, lean muscles you are looking for. Always, safety first though!
This is not a Club Pilates studio, we are an exclusive studio focused on a quality experience with a fully certified teacher from a two year Pilates school with years of experience. We keep our classes very small, with a welcoming, warm environment.
The House Pilates is about quality, precise movement and a program suitable for you. The House Pilates has qualified professional Pilates fitness experience. We are recognized by the Pilates Method Alliance and commit to ongoing continuing education to provide the most accurate exercises for client results. We have exceptional Basi, Stott and Balanced Body equipment for clients to practice on and a classy, clean, private environment. This is not a “gym” atmosphere. We invite you to make yourself “home” at The House.
Many of our clients call us “Clark County’s best secret”, once you experience our motivating sessions here, you stay. You’ll see why.
TO SWEAT OR NOT TO SWEAT
Pilates is not an overly cardio workout, especially in the beginning of your practice. The sweat and heat that Pilates stimulates comes from your deep muscles and is very different than superficial workout sweating that you will be accustomed to. Do not fret if you don’t sweat! When it comes to Pilates this does not mean that you did not work correctly. You are still creating beautiful lean muscles and the sweat will come the more into your practice you venture.
UNDERSTANDING PILATES
Pilates is a whole different beast than many of your usual workouts. It may be different and will work different muscles than you have ever used before. Confused after your first session? Don’t give up! Pilates may take at least three tries before you start to understand what your aiming to accomplish and before you understand just how deep of work you are doing!
THE SORE FACTOR
This is totally individualized to the client. Yes, you may be sore because you are using muscles you have never used before. However, not every novice is able to target those muscles on the first session, so it may take until the 2nd or 3rd session to learn how to engage those deep core muscles and subsequently “feel the burn”.
